Call Me Legend (G)
FAV
[P1]
Bagged a pair of handicaps (around 3m) at Exeter and Wincanton early in 2026 and has continued in good nick, second of 8 in 23f handicap hurdle at Exeter 13 days ago. Could be in the shake-up again with cheekpieces added.

Kruger Park (G)

Rickety Bridge (G)
[P1]
Ended last term out of sorts and he fared no better on his return from 10 months off when tenth in 3m Chepstow handicap hurdle 42 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.

Crossgales King (G)
Gained a deserved breakthrough success in 9-runner handicap hurdle at Wincanton (3m) 30 days ago, always holding on. Up 5 lb but this progressive sort is not taken lightly.

Sam's Amour (M)
Successful 3 times over hurdles in 2024. Good second over C&D in July but he's struggled since, pulled up on her belated fencing bow at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Has it to prove after a break.

Top Guy (G)
Irish point winner who opened his Rules account in 3m novice handicap at Aintree in December. Posted a good second of 6 in 23f handicap hurdle at Market Rasen last month. Well in the mix nudged up 2 lb.

Striking A Pose (G)
Not proving easy to catch right this season and only ninth of 10 in 3m handicap hurdle at Wincanton 12 days ago. Others appeal more.

Walk Tall (G)
Low-mileage 6-y-o who posted his best effort when second of 7 in 21f handicap hurdle at Hereford 41 days ago. This winning pointer could have more to offer now stepping up in trip.
